I can easily see that kids will eat your time like crazy, but otherwise? I have 5-6 hours of free time a day during the week, 8hrs of work, 8hrs of sleep (including the 30-60m it takes me to fall asleep), 30m lunch break, 2x25m commute. Like 5 mins spent making food in the evening (either just bread in which case it’s even less, or just something quick like noodles. 10-15 mins if I feel like making the sauce myself). Eating is semi-free time since I’ll usually watch something during. 5 mins of shopping on the way home every 2 days or so. 10 mins or so for brushing teeth in total since i tend to space out during. 1min quick shower that doesn’t touch my hair. 1-2 mins brushing hair. Once or twice a week 20-30min shower including washing and drying hair to be dry enough. Take out trash like once a week takes 5 mins max.
There are some things where I save time by using money (vacuum robot, eating out for lunch, grabbing food from the bakery when I’m too hungry to skip breakfast like I usually do), but that wouldn’t even add up to an hour a day.
I still think everyone should work less because imo it’s very possible to do without leading to deficits in anyones life. But like wtf are people doing.
Separate from this conversation I’m guessing you’re pretty young based on your response, and I want to just ask if you’re doing ok.
Like bread and noodles for dinner and skipping breakfast, not getting 8 hours of sleep… I hope you’re doing well and remembering to take care of yourself. Veggies and protein are important! Even if you’re just opening a can of beans and a can of carrots, you should give your body something more than grains. Seems like you don’t like up put a lot of effort into dinner so I’d at least suggest those frozen bags of veggies that you microwave in the bag they come in to steam them. Aldi has them pretty cheap!
